I'm considering converting my garage fridge into a kegerator and am looking at this system in particular:

or this:

not sure the difference between standard and premium except for the cleaning kit and drip tray.

I also saw this on Midwest supplies but not sure if this package is ideal.

I measured the inside of the fridge and it's approx 17" wide by 23" deep. Is that enough room? I plan on running two taps of either home brew or something commercial (1/2 keg). Any recommendations or advice?
 
not sure about the top two the links are not working but the bottom one does. I think you can piece one together for about the same price and customize it to what you want I purchased 3 corny kegs at my lhbs for $100 makes them $33 each and I picked up a 20# co2 tank full from craigslist for $100 the cost of filling the #5 is the same as the #20 tank about $20-25 so will cost you $80-$100 for 20# of co2 filling the smaller tank and if you are co2 carbing your beer will go faster... so that would be about $200 but larger co2 and extra corny you may not think you want extra but I have 3 and would like another 3 to keep the beer ready. You would have $100 left for your taps and drip tray maybe spend a little more up front but look at the long run you will save by getting the larger tank and more kegs. Good luck hope it helped or at least gave you some ideas
 
thanks for the input. I'll definitely look into a larger tank. I also edited the top two links.
